AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090

Radeon RX 7900 XTX vs GeForce RTX 5090 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 7900 XTX in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 5090 has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. Despite this, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX has a significantly lower TDP at 355 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5090 at 575 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 5090 over the Radeon RX 7900 XTX.
